“…He had come, a lad of fifteen, as member of a party visiting Dakshineshwar, and some one, probably knowing the unusual quality of his voice, and his knowledge of music, suggested he should sing…This seems to have acted like a signal – “My boy! my boy!” cried Sri Ramakrishna. “ I have been looking for you these three years, and you have come at last!” From that day the older man may be said to have devoted himself to welding the lads about him into a brotherhood whose devotion to “Noren”, as the Swami was then called, would be unswerving. He [Sri Ramakrishna] was never tired of foretelling his[Vivekananda’s] great fame, nor of pointing out the superiority of his genius. If most men had two, or three, or even ten or twelve gifts, he said, he could only say of Noren that his numbered a thousand. He was in fact “the thousand-petalled lotus.” – (Sister Nivedita, The Master as I Saw Him, 1910) #SriRamakrishna #SwamiVivekananda
